Shows and parades in Disneyland Park
In Disneyland Park there's something to see all day long: street shows, characters to meet and, in the evening, projections, fireworks and Fantasmic!. Which shows are on during your visit varies by date. You'll find the times in the Disneyland app.
Fantasmic!
In Fantasmic! Mickey dreams that he is the sorcerer's apprentice. With special effects, water screens and fire, the Rivers of America becomes a stage full of heroes and villains, with scenes from Peter Pan, The Lion King and Tangled, among others. You watch from the riverbank in Frontierland; whoever gets there first gets the best spot. You can get reserved seating with a Fantasmic! Dining Package. The show doesn't run every day.


Christmas parade and Christmas fireworks
From 13 November 2026, A Christmas Fantasy Parade makes its way along Main Street, U.S.A., with marching toy soldiers, dancing gingerbread men, Disney characters and, to finish, Father Christmas. There are also good viewing spots near "it's a small world" Holiday and the Matterhorn Bobsleds.
Above Sleeping Beauty Castle, the "Believe…In Holiday Magic" fireworks light up the sky. The castle is decorated with more than 80,000 lights, and fake snow falls on Main Street and by the Rivers of America. At "it's a small world" the Christmas lights are switched on every evening.
Evening shows with projections
- Tapestry of Happiness: projections on the façade of "it's a small world", in the style of Disney artist Mary Blair.
- Mickey's Mix Magic: projections, lights and lasers on Main Street, the castle and "it's a small world", with fireworks on some evenings.
- Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga: projections on the rocks of Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
- Fire of the Rising Moons: on fireworks nights you can watch the fireworks from Galaxy's Edge, set to Star Wars music.


Daytime shows and characters
In Bluey's Best Day Ever! in Fantasyland, Bluey and Bingo play games and songs from the series. At Storytelling at Royal Theatre, two actors humorously re-enact scenes from Beauty and the Beast or Tangled. On Main Street you can hear The Dapper Dans, a barbershop quartet.
In Royal Hall at Fantasy Faire you can meet Disney princesses. You'll find Mickey, Minnie and their friends in various places around the park.
